1003. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will issue a full payment to a person (details supplied) under the young farmers scheme and the Scottish derogation scheme; and if he will expedite the matter. [9634/16]
View answerThe person named submitted an application for allocation of entitlements under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ measure of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme. Under EU Regulations these applications are subject to administrative and on farm checks. These checks are now complete and the application has been finalised. A letter has issued to the person named him of the outcome of his application.
The person named also submitted applications under the ‘young farmer’ category of the 2015 National Reserve and the Young Farmers’ Scheme. My Department wrote to the person named in February 2016 and again in early May 2016 requesting the submission of additional documentation required to finalise the applications. To date the requested documentation has not been submitted by the person named.
